Whether the earth is flat or not doesn’t solve shit.

It doesn’t make people not evil.

It doesn’t keep people from sacrificing and abusing children.

It doesn’t help us win anything.

If anything, it divides and conquers and people end up arguing about pointless shit.

Let’s take 3 steps forward and zero steps back instead of 1 step forward and two steps back.

Flat earth arguments are for weak minds, given the current situation on planet earth.

Doq, I understand why you think this. It is a huge red pill to swallow. I was where you are now about 2 years ago. Didnt give a crap about the shape, what does it matter and why?

Well, it matters because:

We, people on earth are the center of creation, not a speck in a large universe,
thus PROVING an Intelligent Designer.
Athiests suddenly are hit with the fact Proving God exists.. Believers are vindicated and emboldened in their faith and Agnostics finally will jump off of the fence.

The fear of a meteor hitting us, the sun exploding, axis tilt, climate change, etc Immediately vaporates because we are in an enclosed system.

People then see that NASA, government, military and all of our learning institutions have lied to us all across the earth so that leads them to start wanting to know what else they are lying about.

The peace that finally came over me after learning the truth is indescribable.

Seems to me you can prove the existence of God by asking one question: Where did everything come from?

"Science" has no answer for this one. The Big Bang requires a huge miracle before it can even begin.

I just adore the absolute lunacy of "you can't give an answer, that proves my made up one is correct"

With this mindset, we would still be sitting by the fire because progress would be impossible.

That doesn't prove my "made up" one is correct. It proves the scientific method cannot solve this problem.

Science requires a yes/no experiment to test a theory. If you can't do that, you're in the realm of beliefs. But it is impossible to devise a test that can make something from nothing because something already exists. It's a paradox that the scientific method cannot solve.

I don't see it as a defeat to believe in God or the possibility that some questions are simply unanswerable, so this doesn't trouble me.

You need to freshen up your memory on how the scientific process works, or your attempts to sound smart will end up proving the opposite.
